A "Cell-Fish" is an anatomical Socio-psycho-techno-human mutation that appears as a side effect of the communication industry. It is a creature with extremely low levels of self-esteem, which needs the approval of their peers to activate any of its vital functions.

Its primary energy is obtained directly from virtual units in several forms: ¨LIKES¨, ¨HA-HAS¨, ¨WOWS¨ and ¨LOVES.¨

Until now Science has not been able to explain the high rate of population growth of this specie, since in its entropy, has atrophied the ability to connect with reality, resulting in the elimination of its preservation instinct, ignoring events that threaten their own specie survival.

PMS Lounge

By Nina Dotti.

After surgical menopause at age 33 I found a lot of misinformation and silence on this issue. That's the reason why I decided to create my participatory performance Hot Flashes Bar: To educate women about menopause and how to handle it in a more relaxed, positive way. The PMS Lounge app is an evolution of the original proposal that aims to provide effective information, now under the impact of new technologies, on how transit menopause with full satisfaction.

The PMS lounge app is an educational tool that allows the user, and also the participant in the collaborative performance, to obtain important information on the topics of menopause and andropause (also known as men menopause) through content videos produced with a sense of humor, irony and critic effrontery.

In 2003, UNESCO established the Intangible Heritage program to safeguard these five “domains”:

Oral traditions and expressions, including language as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage;

Performing arts;

Social practices, rituals and festive events;

Knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe;

Traditional craftsmanship.

Since its inception, I have been asking about the W’s of any event, why, where, when, what, which, and who. To me culture is alive and always in process, always changing, never identical. To safeguard culture, well intentioned as it may be, is petrifying, paralyzing, and dangerous.

Am I Intangible? Asks the same questions I have been asking in my performances since 2004. Who decides what, which one, where, when, and finally, why?

I will appear covered in white clay, paint myself, and then the audience will efface my painting.

Arts Connection Space

“Take the Load Off / El Despojo” is composed of a striking video-performance “El Despojo” bearing along with distinct visual-poetry “Corazon / Heart”, small format installations and photographs.

"Take the Load Off / El Despojo” turned out to become a rousing performance in which Dotti invited 100 women to pen upon a paper all the things that prevented them from evolving in their life. Once the participating women wrote down the litany of problems hindering their self-actualization, their written laments were thrown into a massive cauldron where the flames of regret were forged into communal wishes for a more positive future.

The work was conducted at the 13 1/2 km mark of the La Guardia Highway in Santa Cruz, Bolivia (2015).

In addition to the video-performance "Take the Load Off / El Despojo”, the artist, whose real name is Nina Fuentes submit nine visual-poems, adapted from the book of poems titled “Música de Rocola / Jukebox Music”, written by her friend and compatriot Adriana Bertorelli.

Dotti’s commanding opus is completed with 13 objects and photos linked with the poems and with the problems of the heart and our affections.

Imago Art in Motion

Mandalas are a spiritual representation and a ritual of the cosmos. It is also a Sanskrit term mainly used as a ceremonial language in Hindu rituals, as hymns and mantras.

They represent the sacred space, the center of the Universe and the focus point. A circle inside of a square shape represents the mandala.

In practice, mandalas may be lineal or figurative, from the cardinal axes that project them. You can divide its parts in internal regions of a circle. For Buddhists, it functions as meditation, however, the most important process for them is the "creation" because is a journey that shows the experience of the designer and is the connection between man and divinity.

Drawing and painting mandalas is a therapy, it’s a free design and it has infinite meaning.

The graphic artist Rayma, will start us with Mandala 22, a performance with a large-scale, different colors, sounds and shapes that will give us a peek into her creative process, making a mix between painting and video.
